This things don't usually work like this ... you have to pass some QA tests, etc, and you need the hardware to perform them. It doesn't matter if it uses BC.
Maybe technical reasons ... (yes I know they said there is no technical reason to not bring Minecraft for 3DS ... the thing is ... I don't believe this coments

I'd have to imagine that at least the new3ds could run it

But this only applies to NX right ? We don't know yet what agenda Nintendo has for the WiiU once the successor releases. Will there be cross-platform content or technology available to extend WiiU's lifespan or to minimze up-porting workload to NX ? I doubt it and one reason I am being skeptical is that NX is rumoured to be an Android-based platform with most likely off-the-shelf components. There is nothing in there that would point towards any effort to achieve platform agnosticism with the WiiU.
not in Japan.
All you guys are too optimistic. It would be Star Wars x Gundam AGE.
No, there are some situations when the website itself doesn't update for a bit. In cases like these to get numbers you need to go to the actual Japanese eshop from one of the devices.

Considering how Minecraft Wii U is a bog standard port I think it's more like the 3DS would require a lot of work rather than it actually being impossible.
Also I'm not sure Nintendo would care about a branch of Microsoft having development kits for an upcoming system. Competitor's work with each other all the time and companies have strict procedures to ensure confidential information like that is kept localised. It'd open Microsoft up to a massive lawsuit and damage their reputation.
The more likely reason Minecraft won't appear near NX launch is that it would require Nintendo to be proactive with a third party. The fact the Wii U only just got Minecraft should tell you how bad they are at that.
I was referring to the console eshop, not the website.
My reaction would be them trying Inazuma Eleven again.

Do you think so? I feel Inazuma Eleven is the typical IP that pasted its prime - as 99% of IPs targeted towards children. I do think Professor Layton is a way stronger IP for them - a defining one, well-known in Western countries and soon to celebrate 10 years in the market. I totally expect a mobile revival for the IP (the structure of the game can be easily reworked to accomodate micro-transactions and fast playing), but a collection on dedicated devices would be nice as well.
I'm basing this primarily on him talking about how they were planning to reboot Inazuma Eleven for the seventh game which struck me as an implication it probably exists as opposed to a more theoretical "if we ever returned to this franchise" discussion: http://inazuma.pmsinfirm.org/?p=349
That said he does imply they have people thinking about Layton and Danball as well while acknowledging their milking problem:

Looks like war has been declared.
Just like Nirolak, I think a new Inazuma Eleven is much more likely than anything else, for several reasons:
- Inazuma Eleven does fit the bill for "popular series"
- IE is a cross-media franchise for kids, which is exactly what Level-5 is known for
- Layton series has Layton 7 in the works...... whatever the hell it's supposed to be (I still have no idea). I think Hino would have named it directly if it was that game. IE doesn't really have anything.
- IE was Level-5's most/one of the most popular IPs, especially in Japan (and still popular in Europe, irrc), so it would make sense they'd try to revive it.
And what Nirolak posted kind of "confirm" my suspicions. Question is: which platform?

While it might be true, none of the other suggested IP is in their prime either though. Layton had the same decline as IE. LBX was never that popular. WKC and DK were even less so. A weakened IE is still the most popular IP out of all of them.

Given what Hino said, Inazuma Eleven seems the best fit, indeed. I wonder how the IP will be reworked.
In Japan, the last Prof: Layton game sold around 250k units, while the last Inazuma Eleven aorund 280k units - they're pretty close.

If they announce a new IE with a new anime series associated next year to be released probably on NX or mobile the year after, that could be a usual pace for cartoons relaunches as for example ben 10 or other. IE is still pretty popular in EU too where they could still find an audience for the airing of the series and for the games.

That's not too bad.
I honestly was expecting 4 digit sales after after the poor sell-through news.

On slightly brighter note, it sold more than Jojo and Exist Archive on one platform.
It's damn shame because it looks like Codename Steam. A well made game that just doesn't resonate at all with the target audience.
I hope it's better than Codename Steam though. Cheap ass respawning enemies!
It's a Miracle!
I love it, it's so bad!
(Am I doing it right? I never saw "The Wizard".)
Poor #FE, it bombed and to no one's surprise. There will even be people saying it surpassed their expectations to shame it even more.
If the blog is correct it can at least outsell Bayonetta 2.
Congrats to Ryng-Tolu by the way, whose outrageous Splatoon predictions have turned into reality. Shine on you crazy diamond - 1.5 million LTD here we come.
Edit: Oh shit, they are banned. Hope I didn't bring up a sensitive topic there.

outsell Bayonetta 2 by starting out lower? interesting tactic

I swear to god someone posted more than a week ago when we first got Miracle Girls COMG numbers something about "wouldn't it be funny if Miku reskin sold more than #FE?" and here we are.
Crikey.
Someone did, though it didn't seem that outrageous given the prospects.
#FE will be the first game with 300% digital sales.
but halo 5 is already at 900%
I am clearly mistaken then, I had something like 17 000 chalked up for Bayonetta 2 first week in my head.
No competition for how low to go then it seems.
Wasn't there already a peculiar Layton mobile reboot announced in the past year or two? I remember it looked like a puzzling departure from the series.

And the second one will probably outsell every game on Vita bar Minecraft.
If the 21% sell through figured were applied to all of Japan it'd mean Nintendo shipped about 100k units of ♯FE.
Jeez, at least they were carefully with last year's bomba and only shipped like 65k, unless word of mouth for the game is really good it'll found itself on bomba bins very soon.

That figure was for the first day only and since its holidays people spend more. Its really unlikely that retailers ordered that many copies when the game was not doing that high on preorder and if they did that, well, its their loss, since nintendo already got the money, much more than anyone could expect in this case.
Technically wont P5 be their third HD game since Cathrine was their first?
Yay， all is well. Nintendo got the money so we can all rest easy come the next ME thread.
Catherine isn't an RPG. P4A(U) were also technically HD games, being co-developed by Atlus.

not only that, fairly sure the 21% isn't including bundles (aka the only thing that sold out)
Oh yeah somehow forgot Cathrine wasnt an rpg. Sorry.

Well at least that's out of the way.
Now we wait for FE Warriors. Let's hope they get it right this time.
